RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
No Words
Masha has no father, no family
She has no words for Vladimir Putin
She is from Kiev
To be from Kiev is to know sorrow
The sorrow of losing loved ones
The sorrow of losing one’s home
The sorrow of losing a life
She has no words for Vladimir Putin
She has only hatred
The war drags on like a stubborn storm
Like an illness that won’t go away
An aching throbbing persistent pain
A disease of the heart and soul
Like a never-ending rain
We have no words for Vladimir Putin
He has no heart for us
He has no care for human suffering
He has only his ambition
He feels nothing for anyone but his self
If the world is to find a way forward
We must move forward without him
He is a growth that must be removed
He is the heart of all our sorrow
We have no more words for him
Only hate
Only pity
Only sorrow
